West could be seen backing away from Nelson, who brought a microphone of his own.

The British funnyman attempted to rap along with West before being unceremoniously removed by security.

"Some people were saying Kanye shouldn't headline Glastonbury so I thought I'd give him a hand," Nelson tweeted his 93,000 followers at 10.40pm on Saturday night (local time).

West attempted to continue the track, 'Black Skinhead', before stopping and asking to start again.

It's not the first time that Nelson, real name Simon Brodkin, has managed to pull off such a stunt, with similar stage incursions during the X Factor live shows in 2014 and a 2013 arrest after running on to the pitch and attempting to warm up with the Manchester City football squad.

He also managed to mingle with the England World Cup Squad at Luton Airport in 2014 before being removed by police.

Many say his newest attempt gave Yeezus a taste of his own medicine after the 38-year-old singer now interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to declare that Beyonce had "one of the best music videos of all time" in 2009.
